Course Overview

Refocus your career as a diagnostic radiographer on the only fast-track course of its type in Scotland. Three blocks of practice placement will build on course modules providing theoretical knowledge, ensuring you are well-equipped to enter into this caring profession.

Diagnostic radiographers provide an imaging service for most departments within a hospital including accident and emergency, outpatients, operating theatres, and wards. X-rays are an imaging technique used by diagnostic radiographers to visualize injuries or disease, or monitor changes inside the body. Diagnostic radiographers also carry out a much wider range of procedures, which may include cross-sectional imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and radionuclide imaging (RNI).

As a student on this course, you will complete a number of modules that integrate anatomy, physiology, radio diagnostic imaging, physics, and equipment, enabling you to understand the theory of diagnostic imaging. This theory will be put into practice in workshops in a clinical laboratory enabling you to experience the role of a diagnostic radiographer, including communication with teams and with service users, before placement blocks. You will also have the opportunity to complete a dissertation.
